Wtf tickapocalypse

Im not noticing more than usual, but what I would do is a good permetrherin spray down before going in the woods.

My clothes that I wear to my farm get sprayed every 3rd washing. No issues.

Wife doesn’t come in the summer so dogs don’t either. No ticks at the house.

Yep. Got back Sunday. Monday had one on my sack. First time in a long time. We stayed outside though. Fishing the Buffalo and off roading.

I don't think I've gotten a tick since I started spraying my clothes with permethrin. I used to get one pretty much every day during turkey season or at least find one crawling on me

Government is dumping them on you son

Hope you don't get that red meat allergy.

When we were in Helen Ga a few weeks ago, I was super paranoid about ticks. Sprayed myself down with Off Deep Woods whenever we went hiking. And wore pants tucked into my boots.

that's my worry. I've had half a dozen latched onto me this year so far and I can wake up from the absolute deepest sleep if I feel the tickle of one on me.

Just the other night I flipped the light on after I swept one off and I swear that sucker was raised up on his hind legs on my pillow like when you come at a live crawfish.

My son is on a week long camp/walking hike with his buddies at Land between the lakes and he was telling me when he would wake up in the tent with a tick crawling he would pull it off and cut it 2 with his pocket knife and go back to sleep

That's a no dawg from me.

ETA dad got him hooked on camping back in his Cub scouts days.

I would take 100 spiders over one tick. Atleast when a spider bites you, the outcome is certain and finite.

With a tick, you might get some shite that will go away then come back in a decade and rock your world. Diabolical shite. Im way more concerned about ticks than I am snakes when in the woos.

fricking bad in Northern Michigan.

They’re worse now in most areas based on what I’ve seen. The chemo I’ve been on has resulted in me pretty much never having an issue with ticks or mosquitos (my own observation), but based on the people I’ve hunted with across the country I’d say I’ve definitely seen a significant increase in ticks over the past 10 years or so.

I keep flea/tick collars on my boots. So far no more ticks
